According to reports published on ESPN.com and in an upcoming episode of "Center Stage" (a YES Network Production) Yankees catcher Jorge Posada believes he's got the answer to the eternal Joba question:

Keep him locked in the pen.

Posada believes that keeping Joba in the rotation will only lead to future arm injuries (something Posada has become quite the expert on) and would ruin his career.

As posted on ESPN.com, Posada states:

"I think if you start him and he pitches 200 innings in one year, you're going to lose him. He's going to get hurt. I don't see him as a starter,"

and then

"I see him as a reliever. I think his body is made up for a reliever," Posada said.

NEW YORK -- The Cincinnati Reds activated shortstop Jeff Keppinger from the disabled list Sunday and designated infielder Andy Phillips for assignment.

Keppinger was in the lineup as Cincinnati tried for a three-game sweep of the New York Yankees. He batted second and started at shortstop, then moved to third base in the third inning to replace injured Edwin Encarnacion.

Phillips was called up from the minors on May 28. He made two starts at third base for Cincinnati and was batting .143 (3-for-21) with four RBIs. He was hitless in his past 10 at-bats.

The Reds have 10 days to trade, release or send Phillips outright to the minors.
